* Asosiasi dibagi menjadi Zona Barat dan Zona Timur, dengan 23 asosiasi di masing-masing zona:
** Zona barat terdiri dari asosiasi-asosiasi dari [[Federasi Sepak Bola Asia Barat|Asia Barat]], [[Federasi Sepak Bola Asia Tengah|Asia Tengah]], [[Federasi Sepak Bola Asia Selatan|Asia Selatan]], kecuali India dan Maladewa
** Zona timur terdiri dari asosiasi-asosiasi dari [[Federasi Sepak Bola ASEAN|ASEAN]] dan [[Federasi Sepak Bola Asia Timur|Asia Timur]], juga India dan Maladewa
* Di setiap zona, ada total 12 tim pemenang yang langsung masuk di babak penyisihan grup, dengan 4 slot tersisa diisi melalui play-off.
* Tim Top 12 asosiasi di masing-masing zona sesuai peringkat AFC yang memenuhi syarat untuk masuk Liga Champions AFC, asalkan mereka memenuhi kriteria Liga Champions AFC.
* Enam asosiasi di masing-masing zona mendapatkan setidaknya satu slot langsung di babak penyisihan grup, sedangkan asosiasi sisanya hanya mendapatkan slot play-off:
** Asosiasi peringkat 1 dan 2 masing-masing mendapat tiga langsung slot dan satu play-off slot (di babak play-off).
** Asosiasi peringkat ke-3 mendapat dua langsung slot dan dua slot play-off (baik di babak play-off).
** Asosiasi peringkat ke-4 langsung mendapat dua slot dan dua slot play-off (baik di awal ronde ke-2).
** Asosiasi peringkat ke-5 mendapat satu langsung slot dan dua slot play-off (baik di awal ronde ke-2).
** Asosiasi peringkat ke-6 mendapat satu langsung slot dan satu play-off slot (di awal ronde ke-2).
** Asosiasi peringkat ke-7 sampai ke-12 masing-masing mendapat satu play-off slot (di awal ronde ke-1).
* Jumlah maksimum slot untuk setiap asosiasi adalah satu-sepertiga dari total jumlah klub divisi utama (misalnya, Australia hanya bisa mendapatkan maksimal tiga total slot karena hanya ada sembilan Australia yang berbasis di klub-klub di [[A-League]]).
* Jika ada asosiasi menyerahkan slot langsung, maka slot tersebut didistribusikan ke level tertinggi asosiasi yang memenuhi syarat, dengan masing-masing asosiasi dibatasi maksimal tiga langsung slot.
* Jika ada asosiasi menyerahkan slot play-off, maka slot tersebut dibatalkan dan tidak didistribusikan untuk setiap asosiasi.
Peringkat asosiasi yang final digunakan untuk menentukan slot alokasi diterbitkan pada 27 November 2016, setelah selesai Liga Champions AFC 2016 dan Piala AFC 2016.<ref name="ranking">{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/afcasfeeds?view=ranking|title=AFC MEMBER ASSOCIATIONS RANKING (as of 27 November 2016)|publisher=AFC}}</ref>
